with apologies to LeBell for my brusque tone earlier (I guess I touched a nerve? . . . and anyway, BBtB is a pretty robust character so no harm done!) . . . . . . . . . i think LeBell is correct in suggesting that this is a difference of interpretation of the word 'religion'. I find the whole area fascinating . . having had no real religious education gives one a diferent perspective against one who has been brought up 'in a faith' I suppose. I guess BBtB and I shall agree to disagree.
Podmore . . I take your point about Science being full of 'beliefs' . . . but I think it is widely accepted that Scientific 'theories' are no more than unproven theories. This has no connection to the debate on religious belief which I understand to mean 'blind faith'. Those who are religious are not waiting for their theories to be tested . . they simply believe wholeheartedly in the absence of proof. I suspect that if God were actually proved to exist then a lot of believers would actually be dissappointed?
